A maj7 Chord on Bass Ukulele
Play A maj7 on Bass Ukulele: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The A maj7 chord is a major seventh — a lush, jazzy extension of the major triad. It is built from the notes A, C#, E, G#. This page shows how to play A maj7 on Bass Ukulele with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The shape nearest the nut leaves the A string open and takes the rest at fret 1, reaching across 2 frets. The E string stays silent, so 3 of 4 sound. The root is the A string itself. It sounds from A1 up to G#2. 3 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 5.
It has a short scale near 21 inches strung with thick polymer strings, which is how a ukulele-sized body reaches bass pitches.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on A or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
